Just pledged the house of your choice and eager to rock your chapter’s signature look? Well, listen up new girls- this list of top ten sorority girl must have’s is hot off the press and just for you!

1) Longchamp Tote Bag: Forget backpacks and don’t even mention satchels… Longchamps are the “it” bag for transporting those bulky textbooks and MacBook Pro’s to and from class. The signature ‘Le Pliage’ large shoulder bag usually runs at $145 and comes in a variety of colors including 2012’s newest hue- turquoise! Top off your tote with a personalized monogram and a brightly colored sorority button. Fashionable and functional!

2) Water Bottle: Slurp up your daily dosage with style! By refilling the old standby and just saying “no” to excessive plastic (sorry Hokie Water), you’re not only pulling a TSM but also saving the planet! Camelbak’s, Tervis Tumblers and Lilly cups approved.

3) McComas fitness pass: Let’s face it, the elliptical can be totally boring and there’s not always a treadmill available in front of the TV (um, how am I supposed to watch Khloé and Lamar?) The fitness classes offered by McComas are an easy and effective way to feel the burn! Target those tushies with Guts, Butts and Thighs, get physical in Boot Camp and prepare to sweat it out during Pedal N Pump! Werk it girl!  

4) Tanning membership: Whatever your vice (fake and bake, spray, lotions or wipes), keeping a year-round tan is an absolute must for sorority girls, just ask Luke Bryan! Bleaksburg weather is no excuse to stop being bronzed and beautiful! Let’s keep it summertime all the time! Side note: Before I’m accused of promoting skin cancer, remember this piece of advice- tan at your own risk.

5) Patagonia jacket: From simple black and cream to bold maroon and teal, these fuzzy fleeces are popping up all over campus! The latest and greatest? “Artichoke,” a celery green and “Hydrangea,” a deep purple.

6) Watches, Bracelets and Bangles, Oh My!: Whether you’re crossing the Drillfield to class or climbing the stairs at TOTS, make sure you’re rocking some fabulous arm candy! And I don’t mean a frat daddy! This season, it’s all about the bold and the beautiful from jewel toned statement pieces to simple, stacked gold bangles. Of course, the classics must not go unmentioned (Michael Kors watch, Tiffany’s bracelet)… and yes, Yurman does go with everything!

8) Yoga Pants: Nothing is more satisfying than pulling on a pair of stretchy (and elastic waist banded!) yoga pants after a long day on campus. Top off your look with an oversized t-shirt from your favorite date party or philanthropy event and add a ball cap for good measure and you’re an instant sorority girl! This is practically our uniform.

9) Boots: Flats are fabulous and sneakers are slick, but boots are a sorority girl’s best friend! Cowboy boots, riding boots, Frye boots, ankle boots, rain boots, wedge boots, lace-up boots (and I must mention Ugg boots)- doesn’t matter the style, this type of flashy footwear is too hot to trot!

10) Self-Confidence: Cheesy as it may sound, looking great and feeling great all starts from within. Hold your head high and wear your letters proudly! Confidence is the best accessory any girl can have. And it’s free! You know what they say, you’re never fully dressed without a smile! Snaps to being YOU!
